Dylan Debuts 36-Year Old Song

Bob Dylan has certainly pulled out many forgotten gems from his back catalog onstage over the years, but last night at a club in Stockholm he took it to the next level by playing “Billy” from the Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid soundtrack. He hadn’t played it since the original recording in 1973. A remarkably clear bootleg has already surfaced on YouTube, which you can watch above. The moment is up there with other shocking Never Ending Tour one-offs, such as 2003’s “Yeah, Heavy and a Bottle of Bread,” “Romance In Durango” from the same year and 2000’s “We Better Talk This Over.”
